N9> Hon. Henry W. Archer, one of the most
wealthy and prominent lawyers in Maryland, died
at his residence shamrock" near Belair, Hartford
county, on Friday evening of last week, after an
illness of only two days, in the seventy year of
his age. His sudden death was great shock to the
community in which hew as SO well known and SO
highly respected and esteemed. Mr.. Archer was
born at Stafford, Hartford county, April 18th, 1913,
and was son of DR.. John Archer, in his day one
of the most prominent physicians in the State
He was educated at the best colleges in the coun-
try and studied law with his brother law, Hon.
Albert Constable, Sr. In 1885 he was admitted
to the bar in Baltimore city and subsequently
commenced practice in Hartford and Cecil counties.
In 1S49, having married Miss Mary E. Walker,
of Chestertown Md, he settled at Belair where he
resided the balance of his life. In politics Mr..
Archer was an old line Wing, but Joined the DEM
ocratic party at the breaking out of the war. He
was once q member of the Legislature and served
in the constitutional convention of 1867, these
being the only political offices he ever held, al
though he was several times prominently named
for Governor. He leaves family of five sons
and three daughters, three of the sons being men,
bers of the bar and a fourth is engaged in the
practice of medicine. Mr.. Archer was gentle
man of large wealth and owned a number of farms
in Hartford, Cecil and Baltimore counties, besides
much other valuable property. He was one Of
the most kind and generous men in the State and
in his death the poor and needy have lost friend
whose place cannot be supplied. His high pro-
fessionaI ability was we'll known and his public
and private life was alike pure and blameless.-
The funeral took place at Greenmount Cemetery
on Sunday afternoon and was attended by large
number of prominent professional gentlemen and

ls-In replying to correspondent who made
inquiries as to the punishment in Maryland for
the crime of rape, the Baltimore Sun says the
Maryland Code provides that "every person con-
victed of the crime of rape, or being accessory
thereto before the fact, shall, at the discretion Of
the court, suffer death or undergo confinement
in the penitentiary for not less than eighteen
months nor more than twenty one years." Whether
the crime shall be punished by death or imprison-
ment is left to the discretion of the court. The
law makes no distinction between white and color
ed vioators, as seems to be the impression in some
quarters, but white and colored offenders are both
liable to the death penalty if the court shall con-
slider the circumstances attending the crime sufi-
GENTLY aggravated to warrant the infection of
that punishment.

@g> Democratic politics in Baltimore county
present very different phase just now from what
they usually do in local campaign. Of course
the people are more interested in who shall fill
the county Offices than they are in tho fight for
Governor, yet some of the politicians are trying
to make the voters believe that the gubernatorial
contest is really the issue-in other words they
want Hon. Chas. B. Roberts to pull the chestnuts
out of the fire for them. Now the simple truth
is the Democrats here care very little about who
the nominee for Governor shall be, but are very
deeply interested in the local ticket and the men
who will compose it. Those best informed do not
believe that Mr.. Roberts has ghost of chance
for nomination, and this being the true condi-
ton of affairs, the recent antics of some of the
politicians strike the average lOoker-on as extreme
ly absurd, not to say childish. But we expect
that these gentlemen think any scheme is good
that will assist in hoodwinking the voters.

B-The Baltimore county newspapers are very
much enraged because city reporters watched
about Towson Jail during the past week, waiting
to report the threatened lynching of Jackson
We are sorry to have offended our weekly contem-
poraries, but they must remember that this is an
era of progressive journalism. Our readers want
the news as early as possible, and we propose
60 furnish it, even though our reporters may be
compelled to go through the ordeal of spending
their nights in Towson for one week.-Batttmore
Herald.
The above is decidedly cool, even in this warm
weather. THE UNION does not object to "progres-
sive journalism fact it is always ready to ap-
prove that kind and we give the city dailies all
the credit they deserve for enterprise-but We do
object to their progressive" and other kinds Of
lying, especially when TowsontOwn is made the
object of their misrepresentation. We have con-
tended that there was no excitement here on ac-
count of Jim Jackson's presence in the Jail, and
that the respectable people of this town did not
lose o moments slumber because of the wild ru-
mors set aHoat by those city dailies, nine-tenths
of which had not the slightest foundation in fact.
The sordeap spoken of by the Herald is very re-
freshng indeed in view Of the fact thatts reporter,
who, by the way, was q remarkably "fresh" one
and who possessed sufficient gall to supply the
whole staff of any ordinary newspaper, made him
self the laughing stock of every sensible person
who saw his absurd antics and I-know-ita all air.
The "ordeap seemed to be q most delightful one
for him and if he had remained here few days
longer there would doubtless have been real
neck tie patty and Mr.. Jim Jackson would not
have been the chief actor IN, it either. If the
Herald would like to have q real sensation let it
send that ssrdine out here once more.

@g- Thomas A. Edison, the electric light man
and universal genius, is not content with the hun
dreds of patents he has already secured for his in
ventions, but is to-day among the busiest men in
the nation. Lately he has given his attention to
electric signaling between vessels at sea. AT
present the mode is by flags, which, while it does
very well in clear weather and at moderate dis
lance, is useless at night, in foggy weather or at
long distances. Mr.. Edison proposes to make the
ocean itself the medium of transmission. In this
way signals can be sent twelve or fifteen miles to
all vessels within that distance in all weathers
and at all times. IF he succeeds, as he says he
will it will not be the least in the long series Of
his triumphs.

The letter of Hon. Charles B. Roberts,
published in The UNION to-day, in answer to one
from Mr.. Lewis M. Bacon, has not strengthened
his cause in Baltimore county and we should not
be surprised to see that it has done him positive
injury. As the leaders of both factions here were
favorable to Mr.. Roberts, it looks like an I'M
called for act on his part to take hand in the
local contest by publicly announcing his prefer
for one of the factions with view to strength
en- it. But it will make very little difference in
the end as at best Mr.. Roberts is likely to have
only the votes of two counties in the convention,
and those best informed do not think he has a
chance for the nomination this time, so that all
this by-play in Baltimore county will go for moth
ing. If we are not mistaken this latest Roberts
movement is simply the outgrowth ofthe last Con-
gressional contest, and as that affair was very
troublesome one for all parties concerned, we can
see no good that can come of stirring it up again
just now. There is not much brotherly love be-
tween the Democratic politicians of Carroll and
Baltimore counties, and it is generally believed
that Mr.. Roberts letter win only serve to widen
the breach and do him injury in the end.

ms Mr. Ezra Whitman, tho venerable and high
ly esteemed editor and proprietor of the Maryland
Farmer, died at his residence, Madison avenue
extended, in Baltimore county, on Wednesday
last, after four days illness from bilious dysen-
terry, in the 18th year Of his age. Mr.. Whitman
was born in Bridgewater, Mass, and at an early
age, having inherited a talent for mechanics, he
turned his attention to labor saving machinery
and in 1882 invented and completed the first
horse power reaper ever made. In 1S43 he came
to Baltimore and engaged in the agricultural i'm
plement business, which he continued up to about
ten years ago, since which time he devoted his at
tention exclusively to the Farmer. Mr.. Whitman
was public-spirited citizen and took an active
interest in number of enterprises. He was q
Democrat in politics and was member the Con-
stitutional convention of 1867. His wife and a
family of grown children survive him.

WESTMINSTER. Mn Iulv 9th Is,

WESTMINSTER, Nd, July 9th, 1887.
Dear Sr:-Your favor of the 9TH instant, which
came to hand yesterday, is no surprise to me al
though I greatly regret to know that such a state
of affairs is possible
have received number of letters of like char
acter with yours, apprising me of the prevailing
opinion in your county to the effect that it was
Mr.. Tabott's purpose to name the delegates to the
State convention, and in such event that could
hope for no substantial support from the delegates
named by him. I have recently had converse
ton with Mr.. Talbot, in which he kindly inform
ed me that he had never told any one that he was
favorable to my candidacy, and said that he in
tended to name the seven delegates from Baltimore
county to the State convention, and that they
would be his friends, but that they would vote for
me as long as had any right to expect them so
to do. confess my inability to view this state of
the case in the light in which Mr.. Talbot does.
If he is not favorable to my canddacy-and rea-
sonably infer from his self imposed silence that he
is not-and he proposes to select seven of his
friends as delegates, then, indeed, can have but
small right to expect that they will vote for at
all. In this same conversation Mr.. Talbot ad-
mitted that Baltimore county was strongly in ia
of my nomination, and said for that reason the
delegates to be named by him would vote for me.
fully concur in your suggestion that this sub
ect should be brought to the attention of the DEM
ocratic voters in your county for it is certainly
strange anomaly that, notwithstanding Baltimore
county wishes to indorse my candidacy in the State
convention, yet her sentiments must be voiced
through the medium of seven delegates to be named
by gentleman who himself does not favor my
nomination.
Ny only desire in connection with this matter
is that whatever the sentiment of the county may
be- it ought to be permitted fair opportunity for
its expression, which, in my opinion, will not be
the case if Mr.. Talbot is to be permitted to name
seven of his friends as delegates to the State
vention.
If the sentiment of your people is as you repre-
sent it, and have no doubt of it, then assuredly
the delegates ought to be just such men as you
suggest. Very truly yours,
CHARLES B. ROBERTS.

N9>It is claimed sometimes that there are no
German Prohibitionists. The falsity of this claim
was shown recently, however, in Austin, Texas,
where German made speech in the German
language in favor of the proposed constitutional
amendment To audience Of Germans, large
percentage of whom declared their intention to
vote for the amendment. The Texas Prohibition
campaign bids fair to knock all sformer political
calculations out of time. The white Democrats
SO largely for Prohibition that the liquor men
are depending on the Republicans and negroes as
their only hope of defeating it. Perhaps it won't
be defeated at ALL but if it is it is very plain that
it is to be done by remarkable reversal of the
usual order of things political.

Mollie Garfield to be Married.
Western Letter.

The memory of the Garfield family is recalled
by the statement that Mollie Garfield, the Presi-
dents daughter, is to be married to J. Stanley
Brown in September. Mr.. Brown is best remem-
bered as Mr.. Garfeld's private secretary, and as
the man who rendered such tender but efficient
service when the victim of Guiteau's bullet lay
stretched upon his death-bed. Although many
years the young lady's senior, he is credited with
having been gallant wooer, and the affection be-
tween the two is said to be most tender 1t had
its birth, indeed, in those sorry times at Washing
ton and Elberon. Whether or not the wedding
will be public has not yet been decided, but the
privacy in which the family now live would indi-
cate quiet ceremony.

N9- The political contest in Hartford county,
where the primaries are held under the Crawford
system, lis, if anything, warmer even than in Bal
timore county. The leading feature in the fight
is the Associate Judgeship, the candidates being
Judge James D. Waters and the present States
Attorney, George Y. Maynadier. The friends of
both are claiming the county and it is believed
now that the contest will be one of the closest
seen in Hartford. Of course, whoever that county
throws its vote for will be the nominee, Baltimore
county quietly acquiescing in her choice.
